The application period has closed for 2024-2025
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), in collaboration with the Department of State, is once again offering opportunities for the Virtual Student Federal Service (VSFS) Internship Program.
However, the application period has closed for the 2024-2025 academic school year. Thank you to all the applicants that applied and look for more opportunities in the next academic year.
Why join the VA History Office as an intern?
The VA History Office is charged with developing the VA History Initiative, which includes:
• The on-going development of the National VA History Center, a museum and archive going in at the Dayton, Ohio VA campus;
• The national VA History Program, the department-wide effort to archive, collect and catalog VA’s History;
• The VA History Office which is the department level office responsible with managing the History Center project and History Program.
This is a relatively new program and includes a small number of talented historians, archivists, curators, and other specialists with a passion for VA history. It is an active and engaging team that is committed to telling the VA Story to the world.
If you have that same passion, then this is the opportunity for YOU.
Opportunities available
The application period for the 2024-2025 academic school year has closed. Check back in the spring of 2025 for the next round of internships.
